A distinctive feature is the globe mounting system, which uses metal washers to secure each glass globe with visible clamping screws. The globes are made of opaline glass (white opaline): a matte/satin-finished milky white glass, ideal for diffusing soft, glare-free light.
“Pumpkin” or “melon” shape: The globes are molded with raised vertical ribs or fluting, adding volume and movement.
2. Configuration and Structure
Number of light points: 5 (4 globes arranged in a circle on the outer arms + 1 central globe pointing downward).
Architecture:
A vertical tubular shaft connecting the ceiling rose to the central body.
A circular central structure to which the arms are anchored in a semicircle.
3. Style and period
The contrast between the very cold, industrial chrome and the warm, rounded opal glass is typical of mid-20th-century light fixtures.
